Data is logged to an SD card and can be broadcast wirelessly via ESP-NOW or downloaded over a temporary WiFi access point. A standout feature is support for the Crew Chief telemetry protocol, allowing the free sim-racing companion app to act as a virtual race engineer providing spoken feedback during real RC car races. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
